Column names

[asai]

Hi,

In my last post I got very good help with a simple task, but this time I think it is somewhat more difficult task...

I have a table that gets data from a MySQL table. Here is some of my code:

private void initComponents() {

        HeaderLabel = new javax.swing.JLabel();
        jScrollPane1 = new javax.swing.JScrollPane();
        jTable1 = new javax.swing.JTable();

        setDefaultCloseOperation(javax.swing.WindowConstants.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);

        HeaderLabel.setFont(new java.awt.Font("Tahoma", 1, 24)); // NOI18N
        HeaderLabel.setText("Kontakter");

        jTable1.setModel(new javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel(vectordata.getData(),vectordata.getColumns()));
        jTable1.addKeyListener(new java.awt.event.KeyAdapter() {
            public void keyReleased(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {
                jTable1KeyReleased(evt);
            }
        });
        jScrollPane1.setViewportView(jTable1);

        javax.swing.GroupLayout layout = new javax.swing.GroupLayout(getContentPane());
        getContentPane().setLayout(layout);
        layout.setHorizontalGroup(
            layout.createParallelGroup(javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING)
            .addGroup(layout.createSequentialGroup()
                .addContainerGap()
                .addGroup(layout.createParallelGroup(javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING)
                    .addComponent(jScrollPane1, javax.swing.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, 792, Short.MAX_VALUE)
                    .addGroup(layout.createSequentialGroup()
                        .addComponent(HeaderLabel, javax.swing.GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE, 216, javax.swing.GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE)
                        .addGap(0, 0, Short.MAX_VALUE)))
                .addContainerGap())
        );
        layout.setVerticalGroup(
            layout.createParallelGroup(javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING)
            .addGroup(layout.createSequentialGroup()
                .addContainerGap()
                .addComponent(HeaderLabel)
                .addGap(18, 18, 18)
                .addComponent(jScrollPane1, javax.swing.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, 526, Short.MAX_VALUE)
                .addContainerGap())
        );

        pack();

This code gets the data from MySQL very fine, but it uses the column names from MySQL. I would like to write custom Column names.
Any suggestions on how to do this?

PS! I am using Netbeans...

jTable1.setModel(new javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel(vectordata.get Data(),vectordata.getColumns()));

edit that line (vectordata.getColumns()) :)

The other option is to change your SQL query to return aliased names for the columns.
Though that is getting a bit too "GUI logic in business logic" for my liking.

jTable1.setModel(new javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel(vectordata.get Data(),vectordata.getColumns()));

edit that line (vectordata.getColumns()) :)

Do you have an example on how this line could look?

[eRaaaa]

jTable1.setModel(new javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel(vectordata.get Data(),new Vector<String>(Arrays.asList("ColumnA", "ColumnB" ,"...."))));
or like Tolls said use aliases or or or.

[Tolls]

Exactly.
It's just a collection of Strings...
Where they come from is entirely up to you.

Very nice. Worked very very good.
Thanks!
